Research Interests

My research interests primarily focus on Linear Algebra and Dynamical Systems.

In Linear Algebra, I am mainly interested in spectral properties of matrix valued functions. Most of my work is devoted to the study of degeneracies (coalescence of eigenvalues or singular values, loss of rank) for matrices that depend on parameters, and of their effect on the associated subspaces. Numerical tools developed in my works include algorithms for smoothly computing eigendecomposition, SVD and Berry phase for matrix functions of one parameter and for detecting degeneracies (e.g., conical intersections and points of loss of rank) for matrix functions of two or more parameters. 

In Dynamical Systems, I work on numerical continuation of, and detection of bifurcations on, multi-dimensional manifolds of equilibria for ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as on issues related to finite-time blow-up and extinction of solutions and synchronization in networks.
